Eyes are meant to remove physical blindness of man and to enjoy the
beauties of nature but we are also using them for petty and lower purposes. Now
tell me, how do you use them?
Our eyes are mere organs. They can only see but cannot react. It is the faculty of sight in them that makes them see, so is the sense of sight that observes but is also cannot have pleasure as it lacks qualities of discrimination. Sight itself is incapable to decide whether a scene or an object is pleasing or displeasing. It is again the mind that enjoys the pleasure. In food also, it was the mind not the tongue that enjoys.
But eyes and tongue have their reactions. Eyes react to all the elements, wind, cold, heat, water, etc. and they flutter accordingly.
It is the mind which enjoys the food. In food also when we eat some dish, tongue only tastes its sweetness/sourness and immediately sends message to the brain. Mind discriminates the tastes and decides which dish the most was deliciously prepared. It is the mind that does the comparison and develops its standards. It is the mind that impels sense of smell and taste and induces watering of the tongue.
Some way ears, nose, hands are also discharging the functions of the body. Their faculties of hearing, smell and touch are the communicating tools of the mind. You take away the mind; the bearer is immediately bereft of his friends. A fool though, tastes, smells, hears, touches and sees but he does not enjoy and discriminate their fruits. He does not derive pleasure out of them.
Whenever our sense organs discharge any act, their subtle bodies (senses) convey their experiences to the brain which stores all data collected through sense organs. It is the mind that does the comparison and sets it definition of pleasure.

Sense organs are vital
parts of body machine. Body is only a machine. It is the mind that controls it
and runs it according to its whims., mind gets pleasure, then its composition
should be solid whereas it is subtle/invisible.
Senses are subtle and the messages of observations they transmit to the mind through brain are invisible

As long as we are in the
subjugation of mind, we can’t have permanent state of pleasure. But we can have
bouts of pleasure if we keep our senses clean, unbiased and untouched. That is
possible only if we observe world honestly, not influenced by the mind. Mind
makes us see, smell, touch, hear, and taste only those things which it likes.
We must observe the objects as they are; not as they should be. We should not
allow our mind to superimpose or we would have a tinted view of the world and
shall be monitored by mind which is a wile master. And we will be forced to
live in a world which is not real but projected by the mind.
‘You mean you have attained the pleasure-state by activating your senses through that experiment! In other words you are in pleasure state only through your senses. But that is impossible’.
